Some home made NewIcons
for your viewing and using

----------------------------
This is my first small collection of NewIcons to be
released into the pd. I have included most of the
NIs that I have created from scratch myself, though
some of them are just modified versions of NIs from
the original NewIcons or NewIconsExtras packages
(available on aminet).
As with all NewIcons, these rely on the NI patch to
show up correctly, and in fact, that is what makes
them particularly useful. (For the uninitiated, NewIcons
allows icons to be displayed [particularly under KS3]
with dynamically assigned colours so that they always
look at least fairly good [with 1-3 planes] to great
with 4+ planes - i.e. no more icons that don't look right
with your Workbench Pallette).
So if you haven't yet, do try the NewIcons package to
fully enjoy my mini artworks!
A last minute bonus is my hires hand pointer which I think
looks better than any I've seen (humble huh?). BTW is there
any way of getting a REAL hi-res (ie squarish pixels ala
interlace hi-res) workbench pointer? I haven't had any luck
with lacepointer on my A1200..

More about NewIconsSH
I have used the standard NI pallette for all of these
icons (I think) and have likewise made all the icons
the recommended 36x40 size. The only stylistic vari-
ation I have subscribed to at times is using a flat
view instead of the common isometric look. Don't get
me wrong, I do like the iso icons, just sometimes it's
nice to see something a little different, and some
icons just call out for it (e.g. ADPro)

In the pipeline
I'm working on a complete set of icons for HackliteII
reminiscent of Jeff Lee's originals - should see them
soon. I really just make icons as I need them, but as
soon as there is another dozen or so, I'll put another
lot out.
